Predator Invisibility and Ghost Furniture with Kinect

When writing The Digital Sea, invisibility was one of the cool effects I thought was possible with ubiquitous augmented reality. I didn’t expect to see tangible examples so soon. Granted, without AR glasses, all the effects are static on the screen and only eye candy. But what glorious eye candy Fukatsu-san makes. The predator alien would be proud.

The second video from yummyfuture shows us how to make ghost images of furniture (or whatever you’d like to do.)

These are very cool, Tom. I wonder if you’ve seen the stuff from Johnny Lee using the Wii remotes in new and interesting ways? Here’s a link, I saw him first on a TED video where he demo’d a way to hack a wii remote into creating a virtual whiteboardhttp://johnnylee.net/projects/wii/
(I love TED talks…)

I imagine he’s tinkering with the Kinect as we speak. And there’s a rumor that my MS-working sister has sent the kids a Kinect for xmas…if you guys are in our neck of the woods this season we should set up a playdate. For the kids. lol 😉
